Well, Al, when you mess with a bull sometimes you get the hamburger and sometimes you get the horn...

AL Franken found out the hard way not to mess with U.S. Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia, who chided Franken as if he were a delinquent schoolboy at Time Warner Center on Monday night…
When Pearlstine opened the floor for Q&A, Franken stood up in the back row and started talking about "judicial demeanor" and asking "hypothetically" about whether a judge should recuse himself if he had gone duck-hunting or flown in a private jet with a party in a case before his court.
Franken was clumsily referring to the fact that Scalia had gone hunting and flying with Dick Cheney before the 2000 election.
First, Scalia lectured Franken, "Demeanor is the wrong word. You mean ethics." Then he explained, "Ethics is governed by tradition. It has never been the case where you recuse because of friendship."
Time Warner chairman Dick Parsons later told PAGE SIX: "Al was not quite ready for prime time." Franken was a "Not Ready for Prime Time Player" on "Saturday Night Live" long before he began hosting a radio show on Air America.

LOL.... I would love to see a clip of it... :) Don't happen to remember the name of the show do you?
"He sucked then, he sucks now."
ROTFLMAO.....I have said for years that Franken was the most unfunny comedian I have ever seen, and he went political just to keep his name out there. And YES he sucked on SNL : )
pwned!
It's like a three way conflation of: Owned, Pawned, and Punked!
It's unbelievable how the libs at work worship him. They are not *that* dumb typically, but they act like idiots when they hear Franken's name.
He did suck on SNL!!! I never liked him then even before he came flaming out of the liberal closet!
It was called "Lateline" and I don't think it lasted an entire season. Liddy played himself in episode: "Kids 'N' Guns"

Well, Al, when you mess with a bull sometimes you get the hamburger and sometimes you get the horn...
pwned: A corruption of the word "Owned." This originated in an online game called Warcraft, where a map designer misspelled "owned." When the computer beat a player, it was supposed to say, so-and-so "has been owned." Instead, it said, so-and-so "has been pwned." It basically means "to own" ...
"and the poeple of Minnesota will make him their senator."
Never going to happen.
You see there, I learn something at FR every day.
I guess I'll never understand kiddie jargon.
He has reached a whole new level of sucktatude...He is surrounded by a black hole of stupidity...he has and aura of idiocracy...people are dumber after they have met him....a full 50% of people that have worked with him are now institutionalized... the other half are liberals that are already committed to insane asylum... lets face it folks this man is just plain dumber then a box of rocks.. in fact that is an insult to the rocks..they are smarter then him...He is stupider the a suicide bomber... Sorry that is incorrect also.. at least the bomber stands for something... Forrest Gump has a better political future then Al Franken.... Ok I know enough.... Oh and since i have a friend that actually listens to Air America (I like to keep my enemies close) Who says she has heard Franken mention FRee Republic several times...which means that he probably lurks here on occasion.... Al You are a freaking IDIOT and even the people of Minn. are not stupid enough to elect a washed up comedic hack! Don't go away mad... just go away... /end disjointed rant... :)
ah a new..... All your bases are belong to us.... :)
======================================================
One can also imagine Franken smoking a boner.
Thanks will look and see if I can find it.... it could be a good clip to use here... :)
Oh YEAH! Rummy is great and so is Cheney. Franken is a lying wuss anyway. I don't even think he's funny. I mean, if he WAS, I'd give him credit, but he isn't. In fact, most liberals aren't. I don't know if they lose the humor thing when they become liberal or if the people without humor just naturally gravitate to that kind of mindset. Not sure.
Well, that was fun.
